Hi all I am an intermediate musician that currently uses a non-windows DAW looking to continue making some multitrack music in my home studio. I’m looking to purchase the Cubase elements and would like to ask what Windows (sorry I’m not a Mac person) desktop workstation would be good. Sweetwater has a CS2002U audio workstation but it’s like $1700. It came recommended to me because of its resources and I/O’s. I would like to run 2 monitors. Would Dell have similar? I know it’s a broad question just trying to home in on a solution. TIA!

    I make alternative hip-hop with bass, guitars, virtual synths, vocals, and loads of real time VST’s with busses and automation using Cubase Artist (13 I think). I built a custom PC in 2020 running Win 10.

    Basics specs: AMD 3600 6 Core processor 32 gigs DDR4 Interface: Steinberg UR-RT2. My mixes are typically 12-30 tracks of audio/midi and I never experience issues or crashes.

    The only time I get latency is if I’m trying to record audio with say OZONE running on the master channel.

      do you know that you can restict latency compensation and turn off the hungry plugins with one button if you record?
